Reviews

“Worms Clan Wars is about as close to Armageddon as a Worms game has come since. In ways it is far superior, for instance the sleeker graphics, the clan-based multiplayer, and the absolutely endless customization possibilities”

About This Game

Worms™ Clan Wars brings friends and families together in the noble pursuit of self‐improvement, world domination and exploding sheep.

Worms™ Clan Wars is the biggest and best Worms™ game to date - more worms, larger landscapes, more dynamic water, more weapons and more customisation items than ever before. Worms™ Clan Wars is designed to take full advantage of next gen PC hardware. It features beautiful high definition 3D visuals (but still retains the classic 2D gameplay) with new lighting effects, new features to help users interact socially, exciting additions to improve the single player experience, and more of everything a Worms fan could want.

Form Clans, Take On The World

Join together with friends and other Worms™ Clan Wars players to form a fearsome team; name your clan, design your own emblem, promote other players to act as leaders and officers. Enter your clan into the league and fight together to make your mark on the leaderboards. Nobody wants an empty trophy cabinet!

Keep in touch with friends and foes alike using WormNET, the game’s own lobby and chat system. Each clan has its own chat channel, and a number of other channels cater for a variety of hardcore gaming tastes! Jump online to hang out, chat, recruit new members or find games.

Stay connected with the game when on the road with a mobile companion application (web, iOS and Android). This is the best online multiplayer Worms™ ever!

Slick Single Player Gameplay Too

Story Mode’ adds a ton of variety by introducing physics based contraptions for the first time ever. A plethora of interesting machinery spices up the gameplay, and makes solo Worms™ much more fun! The single‐player game isn’t only about dealing death and destruction, it’s also about negotiating tricky swinging rope bridges and rescuing friendlies from death defying traps! The player spends much more time playing, and much less time waiting for their A.I. opponent to take a shot.

Get Busy With Steam Workshop

Fancy yourself as the artistic type? Steam Workshop integration allows you to get creative! Now you can make your worms wear exactly the outfits that you want them to. Import your own 3D objects and textures into the game using a separate tool. You can model hats, glasses, moustaches, trinkets and gravestones for your worms. You can also design your own landscapes! Proud of your creations? You can share them online, thanks to Steam Workshop!

Lets just say maybe you don't have a clue what "Worms" is. I think this is HIGHLY unlikely, and certainly embarrassing for you if that is true in anyway possible. The Worms of a decade ago is much the same as the Worms of today, with newer titles adding a few spins and twists on the classic formula but generally sticking to what made it work all these years to go

Basically its just all the lovely new features from Worms Revolution have been retained by its wriggling, younger sibling: classes, water, and physics. Combatants are split up into soldiers, scouts, scientists, and heavies, all with different movement speeds, health, and special abilities, like the scientist worm's knack for healing his chums. They've been tweaked and balanced since Revolution, with area of effects for special abilities being added or increased.

What makes Clan Wars above its predecessors is the effort that has been put into multiplayer. There's local multiplayer, then your standard online PvP, but the truly special, properly new addition is the titular clan feature. With the same tools used to make a team of deadly, slimy worm-warriors, you can put together a whole clan, with a distinct appearance along with a shiny emblem and a clan name, and then recruit members to this clan, not that it matters at all since the pvp on this title is most likely dead or with 1-10 players.

Ultimately, its success lies in its ability to maintain a healthy population, which certainly won't happen if Team 17 keep churning out more Worm titles, so one hopes that they will take a breather. If Revolution was the best that Worms had ever been then this definently is a title worth having.

Over the generations of worms games developed, worms clan wars seems a lot more refined than the previous games while still having the calssic armageddon feel to it, fun to play casually with friends OR with a clan and cause destruction

its worms. thats all you need to know, this did get ported to console under a different name, but its like revolution except way better because everything is bigger and better, classic worms stradegy and combat with the water and physics and some new/classic weapons.

Great game for the Worms series! Its 3D but keeps the old worms 2D on the side style (making it a 2.5D game) and with new and old classic weapons to choose from, anyone whos played any of the Worms game is sure to enjoy this!

Its got a nice little story mode that with each level shows you how the game plays that will help you beat some of the harder levels, there is also Local CO-OP multiplayer mode with also online multiplayer which all seem to run great!

You get to edit your teams, they have different types of worm such as heavy (take more damage then the average worm) scout (runs and jumps far but is small and weaker) scientist (gives 5hp each time its a scientist worm's turn to the whole team) and then the average worm which is a soilder class/rank each all play a part of winning the match and not just relying on luck and good shots. But thats not all, you get to chose their victory dance, their voice (soundbank) what they wear such as hats, glasses or facial hair and even selecting your type of fort for your team with plenty of options for each category.

Steam Workshop is also supported for the game so there is heaps of content that you can add to your teams customization, you can add more content such as gravestones, hats, glasses, trinkets, mustaches, soundbanks and even levels!

If your a fan of Worms from the 90s or weather you started when it first went 3D or even just thinking of trying one, Worms Clan Wars is def worth giving a go!

7/10 - In overall, massive improvements towards 3D graphics and gameplay physics are quite decent, but not as great as previous worm tittles. Gameplay gets glitchy and buggy in some situations and can't change game modes while in party.I'm a big fan of worms since my childhood and I have to say this game is a must have.

Worms at it's best, tons and tons of fun, cool new wepons, that will give you new ways to kill oponents, also "workshop" support is great, giving players more customastion options. Some minor bugs, but once you've goten hang of them they're not that big of a deal

Its more worms and I like worms..... I like normal worms. I like holy hand grenades. I like fat worms. I like exploding sheep. I like little worms. I like ninja ropes. I like brainy worms. I loooooooooooooove old ladies........ wait what? that came out wrong

Its really good to play Worms again for those years.It never get old, it's like an old school game that you must play as child and adult.It's really funny especially with friends to play.OGL graphics is kinda laggy, i don't know why, but i hope that the developers will make some patch 'bout that problem but game is playable at 30-60 fps (in this 2D-3D combo graphs).Really nice game and never gets old!9/10

First off i wanna say, this game is fun... I am slowly dying, and this game is the only brightness in my life. Before I found this game I was thinking about killing myself due to the fact that i will never be able to live past 20. This game has saved me, and has given me another chance to live what little life I still may have in me.

Worms Clan Wars in my opinion is the best Worms game yet. It has Good graphics, a pretty good campaign and tons of new weapons! This is a awesome game and you should all buy it right now. Stop reading this reveiw and click the "buy' button with your cursor!

Great addition to the Worms collection. Expands on Worms Revolution while adding a host of both new and old weapons. They even bring back some of the classics like the Morter, and Scales of Justice, only with a twist to them this time around.Only issue I have, is an issue that I also had with Worms Revolution, and seems to pertain only to a fraction of PC's, where lag occures, often causing jumps to be unreliable (and unsafe!). Overall though, this one still gets 5/5 from me so far (about 23 hours of playtime).

This game is basically a standalone expansion to Revolution. It's a much better game overall, and the workshop support is very cool, but you can't help but feel like a lot of this should have been in Revolution to begin with.

The problem with the game though, is that even though it's better than both Revolution and Reloaded, it's still a shadow of a game compared to Armageddon. Sure, it has the same number of weapons and even lets you use the Armageddon HUD for your weapons, but that's really the only areas where it matches that old classic, and even then it replaces fun weapons from that game (such as the bow) with newer weapons that, honestly, just aren't as fun.

The graphics are decent, but you will have stutter and FPS drops even on decent rigs when you play games with a lot of onscreen objects/worms. They've said for some time now they have been working on the FPS issues, but the fact I have not heard anything in a while combined with the fact that one update actually made my performance *worse*, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. Also, the game does not have an FPS cap on background objects, but the foreground objects are all animated at 30FPS. It's incredibly awkward looking and makes it blatantly obvious the game was made using an engine designed for consoles, not exactly the grand "PC exclusive" we were promised.

Even looking past that, it's just painfully obvious that you cannot have a game like this in 2.5D if you play for even just a decent amount. You can't always tell just what it is you can actually stand on, not to mention if a chunk of landscape is small enough, you can't even see it at all (I even have proof of this in my screenshots for this game). We do not gain a single thing going to 3D graphics, we only lose precision and performance. Team 17, please stop trying to make Worms in 3D graphics. If you want to do that, make another 3D Worms (and make a decent 3D camera while you're at it), because it's not like 2D graphics is some kind of forbidden thing to have in a video game these days.

Admittedly, all the new weapons and tools do serve their purpose and can be useful at times (to be honest, this is the first time in a Worms game I actually *like* using the mortar), but they range from fun to boring. And frankly, one weapon isn't even new, the Bovine Blitz was already in Ultimate Mayhem, yet they act as if it is new (maybe to 2D Worms, but they should specify that instead of just saying it's new). And everyone who cried that the rope is overpowered in Armageddon? The water jetpack is far, far more unbalanced than the rope ever was (and the rope wasn't OP to begin with...but the aqua pack sure is). To be fair though, the winged monkey is a very useful tool for stopping darksiders, and it's amusing to block someone between two physics objects and then go blast them out ("Oh, are you stuck? Here, let me help you...heh heh heh").

As for the teleport gun being the compromise to the rope no longer allowing Armageddon levels of speed? It's not a compromise at all, it's incredibly easy to use and has no real skill ceiling to it. It's like whoever was in charge had no idea what it was about the rope that made it so fun to use. Had it been developed with the mindset that you need to do a lot of practice to master it, it could have been something really cool, but it's a big disappointment if you're an old roper. Team 17 needs to stop being so pigheaded about the rope and just revert it to the way it was before, because I just don't see how anyone could think the new rope or the teleport gun are more fun, even after having spent hours using both.

But let's say you can ignore all that, and are willing to play anyways. What's that you say? You want to play Hysteria? Not possible because you can't fine tune the turn timer in this. Bow and Arrow? Haha, sorry, there is no bow in this. Shopper? You'll get bored when you realize the limitations of the rope. Heck, you can't even really get crazy with something original, because...and this alone is *THE BIGGEST PROBLEM* with the game, and the series since Reloaded in my opinion...Team 17 keeps removing gameplay options with which to customize schemes. We don't exactly gain anything worthwhile in their place either. Frankly, the only reason this is better than Reloaded is because Reloaded's physics were just that bad, Reloaded has far more options than Clan Wars, and that game is only a few years old.

I don't recommend any of the newer Worms games at all. Not because I'm a die hard Armageddon fan (I actually preferred Hedgewars, back when it was more active), but because these games are cash grabs that have obvious signs of Team 17 just flat out being lazy, all while promising they are listening to the community and that this game will be "the best Worms yet".

Heck, they barely acknowledge the old Armageddon fans, and make it pretty obvious they are not listening to their input on these games. So...they want to build a game with an active community, yet all but shun the oldest fans unless they are willing to lavish praise on their half ♥♥♥♥♥ sequels? And yet they wonder why the series has been losing fans. They also tend to delete negative topics on their forums (even banning users for telling people how to get refunds on the Revolution board...myself included), and I wouldn't be surprised if this review gets flagged by them.

So why did I buy this? Because I'm still a fan of Worms. And it was cheap with a discount and trading card money. But Team 17's rotten attitude and laziness make it extremely hard to like the new games. I seriously doubt I'd ever buy any of their future games, Worms or not. Not until they stop being all talk and actually make a game designed for people who don't just play casually (as casuals are less likely to notice a lack of depth or laziness on the developer's part).

TL;DR version: Another half ♥♥♥♥♥ Worms game from Team 17. One I wanted to like but I just can't. Avoid unless you have to have every single Worms game ever, and even then, get it for at least 75% off, as $25 is nothing short of overpriced for this game, especially considering Armageddon is $15 on steam and will last you far longer.
